How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsAwesome seller, perfect phone!
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2016
Great seller! The phone was exactly as described, no issues at all!

Took it to Verizon as soon as I received it to activate and it was on and fully functional in a few minutes. The camera, buttons, microphone and speaker are all working like it came out of the box.
This phone came with a generic charging wire, that also works like it should.

I love Apple, and my other Apple was destroyed by a lot of use and abuse, I was very surprised and happy when I found this Iphone5 for the price asked and the condition of the phone. It's a used phone that works and looks like brand new.

Thank you Happybook1!! You made me a happy girl!

3.0 out of 5 starsLower price, lower quality
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2015
The button at the bottom of the screen rotates constantly, probably from some DIY person taking it apart to change the battery and breaking it. With the battery supposedly being brand new it doesn't hold a charge very well, or very long. The motion detector chip is also broken (probably also a result of the DIY battery change), so the health app doesn't work because it doesn't detect movement. The earpiece is quieter and more muffled than my previous phone, which is another downside. Whether or not that is yet another result of the battery change or simply a factory defect, I don't know. I rate it as 3-stars (meaning "it's okay") because I did buy it used and suspect I can't expect high quality. It's "okay" simply because it does work, meaning it gets signal, it allows me to make phone calls, and my apps (with the exception of the health app) work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very happy with our purchase of the iPhone 5
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2018
Verified Purchase
Very happy with our purchase of the iPhone 5. My daughter uses it and said all her apps work great. Also, I noticed a lot of high ranked reviews of this vendor's phone mentioned battery problems. The phone we purchased doesn't have any battery problems. The phone arrived in excellent condition, and on time. I would purchase from this seller again.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible. Came in perfect condition
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2015

Horrible. Came in perfect condition, but 6 months later when a new iPhone update comes around, my service disappears. When I attempt to update it an error occurs, and will not allow me to use it until it is restored. The phone fails to restore. I brought it to Apple who said the phone must have been jail broken, they could not restore it because was a problem with the circuit board. Waste of money and waste of time. Do not risk buying.

2.0 out of 5 stars No cracks on front though and it did easily work with my verizon plan
Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2016

Phone looks scratched up in corners and on back. No cracks on front though and it did easily work with my verizon plan. Battery doesn't last more than a couple hours. Had to buy car, office and home charger because of such short battery life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product!
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2015

I bought this phone from Nextworth, and it arrived after about 2 or 3 days. It was fully functioning, as if it were a brand new phone. The only downside is that it does not come with a SIM card, but Verizon can give you a new one for free if you need one. Over all, I would definitely buy this again, and I would definitely recommend this to someone else. (I was not paid for this review)

The item was exactly what I ordered. The phone arrived quickly and it was a great condition. I went to the Verizon store and they inserted the chip and it was free. The only reason I gave it four stars is because the battery life is terrible it dies after 7-8 hours of use. I'm happy with the memory space on the 32gb but not worth 299 for the battery life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent iPhone. I Will recommend.

The iPhone is in excellent condition. It has no scratches at all; the phone looked brand new! Sine the iPhone is CDMA approved, I got my services through Straight Talk, and it works great! The negative comments about the other people iPhones must be bogus because my phone is flawless.

3.0 out of 5 stars Meh. Maybe worth your time and money???
Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2017
Verified Purchase
Phone was described as "very good" yet the battery is shoddy and I will need to get that replaced at Verizon. I had to go back and forth with the seller but got them to refund me for the new battery cost (not the entire phone). Pretty much all a pain in the rear but worth the money I saved vs. going through Verizon for a new one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Phone works great but the battery life leaves something to be desired
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2016
Verified Purchase
I bought this reconditioned Apple Iphone 5 as a replacement for my daughter's phone that stopped working. The phone works well and came in pretty good condition, but the battery does not last long at all which is frustrating for a college student that uses their phone all day long. I would suggest that the seller test out the batteries on future phones and keep the battery life in mind when pricing the phone.
